1 Gothic - Style Cillinder Monstrance

Neo-Gothic monstrance in the shape of a tower – Golden brass – Late 19th century – Attributed to Bourdon (Ghent) and what is rare with its custom-made display case. Exceptional architectural-type monstrance, said to be “tower-shaped,” made in gilded brass, attributed to the Bourdon workshop in Ghent, active in the second half of the 19th century and renowned for its high-quality liturgical metalwork. The ensemble is designed as a true Neo-Gothic architecture: central spire topped by a cross – openwork pinnacles – Gothic arcades – crenellated crown – openwork gallery – finely worked small columns The lunette without glass is present, mounted on a twisted stem, perfectly functional. The carved decoration includes: – An archangel at the top of the tower – Two saints praying placed under side arcades (likely intercessor saints, treated with finesse) The perimeter is adorned with floral rose windows set with colored cabochons (glass or hard stones), alternating red, blue, and violet tones, providing an elegant chromatic contrast to the gilding. Circular base richly chased: – Beaded friezes – Radiant motifs – Regular geometric engraving Careful workmanship, typical of large Belgian precious-metal productions. The monstrance is presented in its period wooden-and-glass display case with a hinged door, perfectly fitted to the object. This case served both for transport and liturgical display. Dimensions of the monstrance: Height ≈ 61 cm x Width ≈ 16 cm x Depth ≈ 19 cm Dimensions of the display case: Height ≈ 68 cm x Width ≈ 31 cm x Depth ≈ 24 cm Condition Very good overall condition. The gilding is well preserved, with slight normal signs of use. The display case is old with a patina of time, the structure is sound. A rare piece for its architectural format, its engraving quality, and its iconography.
